Cheap & Fast Android Mobile Phones

Android phones are really nice, in terms of apps and games they really dominate the market, after all it is owned by Google, which is one of the biggest companies in the world.


Most people consider Android phones over Apple mobiles mainly because not everyone has the money to buy highly expensive Apple products.


Here's a list of the cheapest Android phones currently out in the market.



1. Samsung Galaxy Pocket S5300

The Samsung Galaxy Pocket is currently the most powerful and cheapest Android phone in the market as of today. The phone is running Android v2.3 (Gingerbread) and this phone weighs only 97g. The screen size of this phone is only 2.8 inches with a resolution of 240x320 and 256k color support. It has a very powerful 832 MHz ARM 11 processor, which is more than enough to run games like Angry Birds. It has a massive 3GB of internal storage and a separate slot for external memory (upto 32 GB). The Galaxy Pocket has Bluetooth v3.0, Edge, WiFi (802.11 b/g/n) and 3G connectivity. Other features include Accelerometer, compass, GPS+A-GPS and Google maps. The phone also has a 2MP camera but the image quality is not really great and the video quality is horrible, but wait till you hear how much  this phone costs. The phone costs only 10,500 PKR which is $117 the phone is really price friendly.

2. Samsung Galaxy Y (Young) S5360


The Samsung Galaxy Y has almost the same specifications as the Galaxy Pocket but with a slightly bigger screen of 3.0 inches but the resolution is the same. Both phones, the Galaxy Pocket and Galaxy Y have the same processor and both phones run Android v2.3. Actually, as the Galaxy Y is an older model that is why it lacks some features such as compass. The only good thing about the Galaxy Y is its sleek design. The Galaxy Y only has 160MB of internal storage but when compared with the Galaxy Pocket's 3GB Galaxy Y is really behind it. Even though the Galaxy Y is more expensive than the Galaxy Pocket. The Galaxy Y costs around 13,000 PKR which is about $145.
